In MemOriam Daniel Kostepbader
My children dear now must go,
In Jesus trust in veal or woe;
My mandates heed, my words to you.
Remember them, and mothers too.
Look up to God, lock up above,
Let Jesus rule your hearts in love;
My children come and meet as here
Where families in union dear
Let not the world lead you astray,
Walk right along the narrow way
The way o God that christians tread,
Where Christ has me and mother led

WHAT STRIKES HAVE CosT.-Not large
strike has succeeded in the past six or eight
mouths since the street car workers carried
their demands. On falling market strikes
rarely win their way. Labor has paid
heavily for neglecting this principle. The
strikes in the shoe trade during the last year
are footed up by the Shoe and Leather Re
porter as costing in wages from $4,000 GOO TO
$6,000,000. Nearly hall this sum-about
twice our own estimates said to have
been lost in the five months strike in Wor-
cester county, Mass, where more leather is
cut than in any other county in the world.
The Wilmington strike Of morocco workers
lasted seven months and cost 1925, 000 the
strikes at Salem and Peabody, Mass, en-.
tailed loss of $500, 900 in wages. Other
lesser strikes bring up the total. The Chi
cago builders strike this spring, a sad fail
llre, cost s., 500, 900 in wages, which would
have been paid to $4,000 workers. The
coke. workers strike down to June %, stood
for loss in wages of S6SS, $50. Before the
10000 men still out, after 5000 went back
on the Carnegie interference, 90 back or
lose their places, this sum will have risen 10
$500 900 or more The shoemakers' strike
was all through n knights of labor affair,
the Chicago the work of federated unions,
and the workers have acted from local
impulse, and have disregarded outside adj
vice. They have all failed, and the worst
failure has been the shoemakers' strike,
managed by the well. paid officials of the
knight Philadelphia Press.

IN TIGERS JAws.-An incident in the
career of Sir Edward Bradford, the newly.
appointed political secretary at the Indian
office, is told rs follows by the 81. Stephens
Revie1O, By way of showing the cool determ.
ination of the man
"As young officer, doing duty with =
Madras cavalry regiment, Sir Edward was IA
keen sportsman. One day when tiger shoot.
ing he missed his mark, and soon found
himself in tigers clutches. In WAS an
anxious moment, few of his friends being VI
hand. As sportsman of experience, Sir
Edward knew we'll that his best course was
to lie quietly and sham death. The tiger
surveyed his prey, looked around, and,
thinking all was safe, set steadily to work
to make its meal. Taking the young of
iicer's hand in his mouth it was steadily da
posed of and the arm eaten to the elbow
before Sir Edwards companions came up
and released him. The cool resolution Of
the man in feigDing death ha:3 been the
means CT saving what has since proved 10
be a most valuable life, for, rs Sir Edward
says when telling the story, had he moved.
or uttered even a groan, the tiger would
have put an end to his existence before 20
ing on with his repast. OF course, the shat.
tered arm had to be removed from the
shoulder. 1t may be imagined what the
suffering was which the victim endured
while lying, quite unconscious, in the power
of yoracious man-eater."
